2.3.15.8. cn=memberof t ask
The memberOf attribute is created and managed by the Directory Server automatically to display group
membership on the members' user entries. When the member attribute on a group entry is changed, all
of the members' associated directory entries are automatically updated with their corresponding
memberOf attributes.
The cn=m em berof task (and the related fixup-m emberof.pl script) is used to create the initial
memberOf attributes on the member's user entries in the directory. After the memberOf attributes are
created, then the MemberOf Plug-in manages the memberOf attributes automatically.
The memberOf update task must give the DN of the entry or subtree to run the update task against (set
in the basedn attribute). Optionally, the task can include a filter to identify the members' user entries to
update (set in the filter attribute). For example:
dn: cn=exam ple memberof, cn=m em berof task, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn:example m em berof
basedn: ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
filter: (objectclass=groupOfNames)
As soon as the task is complete, the task entry is removed from the directory.
The cn=m em berof task entry is a container entry for memberOf update operations. The
cn=m em berof task entry itself has no attributes, but each of the task entries beneath this entry, such
as cn=task_ID, cn=m emberof task, cn=tasks, cn=config, uses its attributes to define the
individual update task.
basedn
This attribute gives the base DN to use to search for the user entries to update the memberOf attribute.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=task_name, cn=memberof task, cn=tasks,
cn=config
Valid Values Any DN
Default Value
Syntax DN

filter

attribute. Each member of a group has a corresponding user entry in the directory.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=task_name, cn=memberof task, cn=tasks,
cn=config
Valid Values Any LDAP filter
Default Value (objectclass=*)
Syntax DirectoryString
